  That’s me, give me those dark cold days I can snuggle warm blankies when I get home. Fun fact: you can always dress more when you are cold but there is a physical limit to dressing less when you’re too warm.

  Fair, my own needs on spreadsheets were are formulas and enumerations, I can’t comment on more advanced uses.

  I obviously don’t know her exact needs but so much can be achieved by web versions of Office and Outlook that I didn’t have issues working with MS-using clients.

  So does Ubuntu, but there is a catch. Secure boot relies on signature checking, so you can manually add the signature of your OS manually to the UEFI db, but can’t do that on locked UEFI. Major Linux providers went another route, they paid Microsoft to sign a shim binary, which in turn can verify and boot the matching Linux kernels. Microsoft refusing to sign shims would be a rather crippling move, but they would get a massive backlash from that.
